A friend wants to study woodworking OR blacksmithing in Japan...tips?



A friend (he's my boss actually) is a skillful woodworker ( beautiful boxes and bowls..he built himself a classical guitar of excellent quality!) with a great eye for design. He is interested in becoming an apprentice to a woodworker in Japan, or in studying blacksmithing, which is a whole new field to him. He's very talented...background in architecture. Anyone got any ideas as to where he should go to look for opportunities? Thanks very much.


Answers:


1Phew, that's not going to be easy. I suggest that he try to contact the woodworking/craft association in his country and see if they can arrange an exchange program with some of the woodworking community in Japan. I posted a link to Japanese Association for the Promotion of Traditional Craft Industries, who I think would be able to help with more information.
